Conclusion: Prospects for the Caribbean Civil Society-Governance Dynamic.This book offers a unique analysis of the participatory spaces available for civil society organisations (CSOs) in Caribbean governance. It reveals the myriad ways in which the region’s CSOs have contributed to enriching Caribbean societies and to scaffolding Caribbean regionalism, and also uncovers that despite their contributions, Caribbean CSOs (and civil society more broadly) have found limited space for involvement in governance. The author peers into Caribbean state-civil society participatory dynamics using in-depth country case studies (Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago), mini-case studies and evaluations of the approaches to inclusion within the regional institutions of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). This novel contribution to the Caribbean civil society literature uses these assessments to make a case for regularising state-civil society collaborative practices to enhance the quality of democracy in the region. Kristina Hinds is Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados. She has published Caribbean scholarship on civil society, citizenship, gender, financial crisis and information and communications technologies. .Non-Governmental Public ActionComparative politicsPolitical scienceRegionalismEconomic developmentLegislative bodiesGlobalizationComparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Governance and Governmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220Regionalismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912050Regional Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050Legislative and Executive Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911240Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912030Comparative politics.Political science.Regionalism.Economic development.Legislative bodies.Globalization.Comparative Politics.Governance and Government.Regionalism.Regional Development.Legislative and Executive Politics.Globalization.300361.7060729Hinds Kristinaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060754BOOK9910338047303321Civil Society Organisations, Governance and the Caribbean Community2515527UNINA
